Apes and many other primates are indeed capable of bipedalism - that is, walking on two legs. Most primates use both their legs and arms to move, most especially when they are trying to move quickly. Using both sets of limbs helps them to run faster than using two legs. Occasionally, primates may walk with only their legs if they are at leisure or play.

Monkeys vs. chimpsBoth chimpanzees and monkeys are primates, although monkeys are less closely related to humans.

The main obvious difference between the two is that monkeys have tails; chimps and other apes do not. Monkeys are structurally closer to four-legged animals like cats and dogs, while chimpanzees and other apes are more similar to human beings, both structurally and in terms of their level of intelligence and behavior. Apes have been observed to operate within a social structure and have even been taught to use sign language and to type.

How do you save the 3 toed sloth?

There are some things that could help to protect the 3 toed sloth. Because they live in the Amazon rain forest, anything that helps them can help countless other species, too.

1. Buy Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified paper and wood products. A majority of wood is harvested illegally and irresponsibly. However, FSC Certified products are sustainably harvested.

2. Buy shade grown coffee. This means that the coffee is growing under the rain forest canopy. Not only does it taste better, but shade grown coffee plantations protect the rain forest trees.

3. The other solution is that the farmers in Brazil begin to grow their crops in a sustainable manner. Normally, they slash and burn huge areas, and then farm there for a couple of years. By then the heavy rain has depleted all of the nutrients in the soil and there has been significant erosion. Then they burn more land, and the cycle continues.

An animal eating another animal is a carnivore. It may be an omnivore if its diet regularly includes plants.

That means they are carnivores if they eat meat or insects.

What is the storing temperature for cabernet?

"Room temperature" - is the most frequent and the most common response. But there's a definite caveat ("cabeat"? LOL) to this.

In the USA, "room temperature" is typically considered 72 degrees. This is too warm for virtually any wine. The wine will taste too hot and lose those subtleties of flavor for which Cabernet's are renowned. Worse still, depending on the individual, they may store the wine in an area of the house in which the temperatures rise above 72 degrees, perhaps well above. Higher temperatures can conceivably "cook" the wine, reverting a perfectly delightful wine to grape alcohol.

If we think of the typical old world wine cellars where wines were stored, cool (due to the ambient temperature, and due to the "cold" stone walls and dirt floors) cellar-type areas with a fair amount of air circulation (due to the, relatively, poor insulation and construction), we realize that the old term "room temperature" is noticeably cooler than the "room temperature" we now find in modern homes / restaurants that are well insulated against the weather.

Therefore, roughly 60 - 65 degrees (63 - 68 is a good range) is more appropriate for hearty wines like the Cabernet's.

Of course, some individuals may prefer the Cabernet just a bit cooler, some a bit warmer. Personal taste always takes precedence. But generally speaking, if we stay in that approximate 65 degree "zone", that chosen Cabernet will reveal all it has to offer.

Hope this helps a bit.
